In a result that I am sure is discouraging to the left-wing media, it looks like the most popular cable news host among young Democrats is none other than Fox News' Tucker Carlson.

This is so, so sweet.
Democrats know that the 25-54 age group is THE most important demographic to reach in all of television and it is being DOMINATED by Tucker Carlson and Fox News.
From the left-wing Mediaite article:
According to the party-line data, gathered in the month of October, Tucker Carlson is the number-one watched host among Democrats in the key 25-54 age demographic – across all networks. For that month, Carlson pulled in an average of 101,000 Democrats in the demo. The Rachel Maddow Show and The Five tied for second – each pulling in 88,000 demo viewers that identify as Democrats.
More stunning still is the fact that Sean Hannity and Greg Gutfeld round out the top five with 81,000 and 73,000 Democrats in the demo, respectively.
There are two possibilities here: either Tucker has an effective and entertaining show that appeals to younger people, or Democrats are so insane that they are choosing to hate-watch Tucker instead of news they agree with.
I'm sure Tucker and his executives don't care which is true.
In terms of total viewers, Fox has three of the top five shows watched by Democrats, while MSNBC has the other two.
Maddow leads among Democrats in terms of total viewers with 908,000. While The Five pulls in 732,000 total viewers who identify as Democrats and Tucker Carlson pulls in 722,000 to round out the top three. Hannity and Lawrence O'Donnell land in fourth and fifth place, with 623,000 and 607,000 Democrat viewers – respectively.
Among ALL Democrats, lefties are more likely to watch Tucker, The Five, or even Sean Hannity than MSNBC star Lawrence O'Donnell.
CNN shows aren't even making it on the list, at all.
Unfortunately for CNN and MSNBC, the same data shows that the top five most-watch programs among Independents are all on Fox. Tucker Carlson, The Five, Hannity, Special Report with Bret Baier, and The Ingraham Angle are the five most-watched shows by self-identified Independents – in order of popularity.
Among Republicans, it's no surprise that Fox sweeps the top five watched programs. Listed in order of most-watched they are Tucker Carlson Tonight, The Five, Hannity, Special Report with Bret Baier, and The Ingraham Angle.
In raw percentages, Fox pulls in 58% of all Independents watching cable news, while MSNBC attracts 25% and CNN gets 17%. Among total viewers identifying as Democrats, Fox pulls in 39% while MSNBC pulls in 38% and CNN gets 24%.
The entire top-5 list among independents consists of Fox News shows.
Fox has more viewers for EVERY political leaning: more Republicans, more independents, and more DEMOCRATS watch Fox News than any other network.
Say what you want, but Fox is doing something right where the liberal networks are getting things wrong.
